    I once to believed this too. And then I got much more skilled at prompting agents to get the results I wanted. As someone who is and always has been a very unapologetic skeptic, I …

    I was excited to see this, since I'm looking for a symbolic algebra library. But then I saw the absolutely awful license. A license like that at a time like this is no small miscal…

    I disagree with this take. Particularly because this isn't just a little more of this or that. It's a well-integrated set of features that should have already been on the market in…

    I ordered this within 30 minutes of learning about it. I've been waiting for something like this. Here's why: - My eyes are getting older, and I need a better visual connection to …

    This advice is not better than random. It is actually much much worse. It is a pseudo-formalization of a chilling effect. Actively preventing people from sharing their ideas or bei…

    The physical interface is an intrinsic part of the design of any eurorack module, including artistic elements. If you actually use these, then you quickly tire of menu diving for s…

    I host OSS images there, and I see no notice about how they will be affected. If they limit access to my published images, then it will be an issue. In that case the benefit and th…

    This essay might win an award for having the most words for the simplest point made. The genuflecting and synthesized history lesson that it's the first 3/4 of it was an entirely u…

    I was curious about this as perhaps a new approach to recipe-oriented bytecode injection. But the I looked at the project's (long) history and docs status. It seems that the main c…

    I was paid to do code analysis on medical systems coming up to Y2K. Yes, there were Y2K related bugs which would have munged patient data, including exam data and results. Yes, we …

    I should have been more specific. I meant lopsided as in the character of the two candidates. I posit that any decent, moderately educated citizen should be able to see this clearl…

    I find the overall assertion to be grasping at a counterpoint. Particularly, 1. The reference to "Medieval" labeling goes all the way back to the beginning when D&D overall was not…

    EMF becomes a fungible energy medium. Imagine storing energy in a field, just as we do with MRI machines, momentarily in the poles of motor windings, essentially anything inductive…

    I'm sincerely confused as to whether this post is satire or not.

    It seems that open sourcing it while it is growing up actually makes more sense. If you want community involvement, ideas, testing, contributions, and so on, then hiding the projec…

    Finally, something to give scientific discoveries back to the people that bought them. The devaluing of teachers, public education and critical thinking has gone hand in hand with …

    I'm quite surprised by this request, given that Kotlin doesn't really improve on classic Java language problems to a quantifiably better degree than later JLS improvements. Further…
